We’ve seen students become more open, more engaged, and more connected with their peers during the sessions and afterward as well. James has brought a unique kind of energy to the valley that feels new and refreshing, and the students are genuinely drawn to his teaching style and the environment he creates."

-Ben Sandoval, Director of YMCA Espanola

We offer limited private instruction for advanced or non-standard students, including homeschoolers, who are ready for serious engagement with classical texts.

 

This work is well-suited to teenagers who read widely, think independently, and benefit from rigorous discussion rather than conventional coursework.

​​

Private instruction is bespoke, discussion-centered, and offered selectively.
